Question regarding transparency planes....

I'm looking for an effect where I'd like to create an object that would demonstrate a prismatic effect, such that, no matter which way one looks at an object, the render should have red on one side (say the left or bottom of the object) and blue on the other (one the right or top of the view in this example) and all the other colors in a gradient in between. I'm not sure how to do this sort of effect in Poser or DAZ.

Now, my question is, is there a way to do this by
1) setting up a series of planes aligned about a central axis that will render only from one side (the "normal" side, as was common in many early versions of Poser) and
2) only be visible in the render within a few degrees of perpendicular of (and naturally only one side of) any one plane?

Also, is there a way to set such planes to use a technique in use at Source FilmMaker called "jigglebones"? (https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/$jigglebone)

Say for example, a series of 10 planes, each 36* apart, but each plane being visible in the render only if the camera is within +/-18* from perpendicular on any one plane...(if it's possible, I'm sure the numbers can be adjusted up/down, depending on the number of transparency planes being used, to make animated rotations look smooth)

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
